Chapter 112: Literary films
"Sister Tao Hong, it's amazing, I really didn't expect that you would be promoted from an actor to a film producer...... It seems that you have really made a lot of money filming TV series in the past few years, share it with me, how do you feel about being a producer this time......" Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but quipped.
Tao Hong said angrily: "Okay, you kid don't squeeze me, I just like the original book of this novel, and I've always wanted to make a movie, but unfortunately, I don't have any movie resources myself, so I spent money to buy the movie copyright of "Life Show", it's as simple as that." ”
Lin Xiaoguang nodded, and then asked, "Sister Tao Hong, tell me the truth, is the investment in our drama big?"
Tao Hong thought for a while, and then replied: "Let me tell you this, although the movie has only officially started filming today, my sister has almost invested half of her net worth, what if ...... If I hadn't worked with another film company, I wouldn't have been able to make this movie on my own. ”
Lin Xiaoguang looked surprised: "Then you are brave enough, to make a movie of this scale, you have to spend millions to say the least, right?"
Tao Hong said calmly: "No, if the budget for making a movie is not three or five million, the crew of one or two hundred people at every turn is really not able to manage." ”
Listening to Tao Hong talk about the difficulties of investing in making movies, Lin Xiaoguang sighed secretly, to be honest, although he also wanted to make a movie, he really let him spend millions of yuan in banknotes to make a niche literary film, he was really reluctant, he wanted to have this money, and it is estimated that he would buy a house and invest early.
This head-killing business is done by someone, and who dares to provoke a money-losing business?
Although Lin Xiaoguang has never invested in making a movie, he knows very well that investing in literary films requires sufficient feelings and financial support, in our China, in the current sluggish film market, the audience of literary films can almost be said to be extremely niche, because, in this impetuous and utilitarian society, few audiences are willing to calm down and spend money to watch a literary film in the cinema.
Frankly speaking, most Chinese audiences have not yet developed the habit of going to the cinema to watch movies, let alone letting them spend money to watch unpopular literary movies.
For Tao Hong's cross-border choice, Lin Xiaoguang can't talk about supporting or opposing it, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, and what she spoils is her own money, but for her dedication to the movie, Lin Xiaoguang is in awe of Tao Hong in his heart.
Obviously, Tao Hong is a passionate actor, and in this regard, Lin Xiaoguang is really ashamed of himself.
Moreover, in Lin Xiaoguang's view, the film producer is much higher than the film director, the director is basically a laborer who takes the boss's money to do hard work, and the producer sounds more like he invests his own money and lets his people work for him.
In layman's terms, a film supervisor is what people often call a producer or producer, whose job is to manage all the work related to the entire TV or film production process, such as the search and coordination of staff, the control of budget, the progress of shooting time, etc., so that the film can be completed within a reasonable time and budget.
In some areas where commercial films are developed, many experienced and successful producers can decide which kind of film to shoot, the style of the film, and even override the director to become the leader of the film content, and is the most powerful person in the filming process.
It's just that, judging from Tao Hong's qualifications as a producer who has just taken office, it is really not so simple to overwhelm director Huo Jianqi's dominant position in the crew, not to mention, she doesn't have this idea at all, she chose to let Huo Jianqi be the director of the movie "Life Show", mainly because she believes in his directing ability.
In any case, filming the movie "Life Show" well is what Tao Hong is most concerned about at present.
chose to let Lin Xiaoguang join the group, Tao Hong, as the producer of this play, also observed and considered him for a long time, Lin Xiaoguang's acting skills don't matter for the time being, at least in her opinion, Lin Xiaoguang is very suitable for the role of "Come to Shuangjiu", in addition, in Tao Hong's eyes, Lin Xiaoguang is a young man who loves acting, and his performance on the set of "Fengyun" makes her feel very down-to-earth.
For Tao Hong's appreciation, although Lin Xiaoguang didn't say it, he was also very grateful in his heart, grateful to Tao Hong for his trust and affirmation, so when he knew that Tao Hong asked him to shoot this movie, even if he didn't have a role for the time being, he would arrive on time every day, no matter how big or small, as long as he could use him, he would take the initiative to help, sometimes help carry down the props, sometimes give some advice, and he was very busy......
In short, a few days after the start of "Life Show", Lin Xiaoguang worked the set for a few days, but what made him feel particularly depressed was that he stayed in the crew for 10 days, but Huo Jianqi only filmed a few scenes.
The work mode of "slow work and meticulous work" makes Lin Xiaoguang, an actor who has only filmed in a TV drama crew before, unimaginable, in his opinion, these ten days are enough to shoot several episodes of TV series.
Lin Xiaoguang only found out after staying in "Life Show" for half a month that there is indeed a difference between making movies and making TV series, in fact, when an actor is acting in a TV series, the director will not interfere too much with his performance, as long as the plot can go down, exaggerated or weird or even templated, there will be no problem.
And making a movie is different, when the actor acts in the movie, the director will interfere a lot, because the leading role of the movie is the director, and the director will do his best to demand that what he wants to express in the end.
For example, before the start of filming, Huo Jianqi will spend a long time cultivating the emotions of the actors, and during filming, the actors are required to use many acting methods, repeatedly perform a paragraph, in order to achieve the best result, and even change the actor's personality through psychological hints.
In addition, film and television dramas are all filmed almost in real scenes, pursuing reality, guiding the audience into a dream-like viewing experience through reality, infecting the audience with as real emotions as possible, and striving to share joys and sorrows with the audience.
The truth of life and the truth of art can achieve this hypnotic effect.
Therefore, the performance size of a TV series is very small, as close to life as possible, while the movie, which mainly refers to realistic films, is the smallest in all realistic performances. To be surprised in the movie, perhaps, just need to blink your eyes.
I have to sigh that in the winter of ZQ, the weather is cold and scary, and the wind is frozen and shattered in the air, directly through the clothes, sticking to the skin and flesh.
However, Lin Xiaoguang still couldn't move, as usual, even if he didn't have his own role for the time being, he would participate in the work of the crew.
